Start of first round of discussions for around 60 minutes. There will be 10 roundtables and you can attend at three different tables/topics.


Roundtable 1: Laurent Jacquemin, EMEA Field CTO of Akamai Enterprise Security Group

Can Zero-Trust Principles Close the Gap Between On-Prem and Cloud Security?
Modern organizations increasingly rely on the cloud to manage their critical systems and store their most valuable data. With the growing shift of applications and workloads to the cloud, security and cloud teams are facing a growing number of challenges. One of those is extending segmentation and Zero Trust principles to applications and workloads in cloud environments.

The unique and dynamic nature of the cloud means that cloud workloads are more exposed to external threats than on-premises resources are. Organizations need to make sure they reduce the attack surface and contain attacks on applications and workloads in their public cloud environments.


Roundtable 2: Phil Jacobs, Principal Intelligence Solutions Advisor at Intel471

From Threat Actor to Action: Operationalizing Cyber Threat Intelligence
How organizations can turn threat intelligence into actionable outcomes within workflows, playbooks, and strategic risk assessments.

Discussion Points:
• What makes threat intel truly actionable?
• Integrating CTI into pipelines and detections
• Where does AI fit? Benefits and risks
• Success stories: pre-emptive blocking, attack surface reduction, and early-warning examples 


Roundtable 3: Christer Swartz, Director Industry Solutions at Illumio

AI: Are we all doomed? Or can we address AI threats proactively, rather than reactively?
Along with the promises of AI, the other side of the coin is a new wave of dramatically effective cyber threats which rely on AI to slip past the most complex cyber defences.

Is the only solution to AI threats the use of AI threat-prevention, creating an endless cat-and-mouse chase? Or is there a way to address AI threats along some common dependencies which they all share, hopefully future-proofing ourselves against the expected AI apocalypse?


Roundtable 4: Jürgen Hofmann, Sales Engineer at Cato Networks

Global Protection, Local Performance: SASE for the Modern Enterprise
The increasing shift of applications to the cloud, hybrid work models, and the constantly growing threat landscape are presenting traditional security and network architectures with new challenges. In this roundtable, we will discuss practical ways in which Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), as a converged, cloud-native platform, can help meet these demands.

The focus will be on real-world use cases: How can consistent, globally available protection be established for mobile employees, cloud environments, and branch offices? How can remote sites in China be connected with high performance? How can Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) effectively replace traditional VPN structures while improving the user experience? And what opportunities does SASE offer to scale network and security functions agilely while reducing complexity?

We will also explore the typical path to implementation: from initial pilot projects and migration strategies to gradual integration into existing IT landscapes. The discussion will include how this transformation can be achieved without major changes to the existing architecture and by leveraging existing security investments.

This session is aimed at technical IT security professionals interested in an open exchange on SASE strategies, best practices, and lessons learned.
